This year, the pork tenderloin adds chili-apple butter to the recipe and has switched out the fennel in the slaw for celeriac, while the brussels sprouts has switched candied pecans and maple bourbon glaze for spiced pumpkin seeds and pumpkin seed vinaigrette.

Grilled Cider-Brined Pork Tenderloin with Chili-Apple Butter, Celeriac-Apple Slaw, and Apple Cider Gastrique – $7.00
This is phenomenal. The pork is incredibly tender and well-seasoned. The slaw gives a nice crunch with a subtle heat countered by the apple cider gastrique. It’s also a good portion for the price.

*NEW* Cast Iron-Seared River Trout with Vanilla-Butternut Squash Purée, Brussels Sprouts Salad, Candied Pecans, Spiced Pumpkin Seeds, Dried Cranberries, and Maple Dressing – $7.25
This was presented beautifully, and the skin was very crispy. We questioned if this was actually from a booth. The fish is perfectly cooked and tastes like it could be served at a table service. The butternut squash purée and brussels sprouts salad also gave it a dimensional flavor that surprised us. We will get this again.

Cast Iron-Roasted Brussel Sprouts and Root Vegetables with Dried Cranberries, Spiced Pumpkin Seeds, and Pumpkin Seed Vinaigrette – $5.00
There weren’t a lot of Brussels sprouts in our Brussels sprouts, but this is a good dish anyway. It has all the flavors of a Thanksgiving dinner that you love in a bowl. There’s sweetness, heartiness, sage and spices, a crunch from the nuts. It’s enjoyable and one of the better vegetable dishes.

Gogi Pinot Noir, Santa Rita Hills, CA ($75/bottle) – $16.00
Gogi Wines notes that this wine offers “generous tea, blood orange and savory notes that have melded together nicely, carried by sleek acidity. The caressing finish reveals a sous-bois [earthy, forest floor] echo.”
Spiced Apple Old Fashioned Inspired Cocktail with Boyd & Blair Rum ($22/bottle) – $12.50
It’s on the sweet side with spice on the back end. It’s more like a cold hot toddy than an old fashioned.
